Returns Management · for Ecommerce

OpsUI's Returns Management module runs ecommerce returns end-to-end: RMA initiation from any channel, disposition rules at receiving, refund orchestration back through Shopify or WooCommerce. Returns volume becomes a P&L line you can actually manage.

Ecommerce returns above 5% of dispatches stop being a manual workflow. A dedicated returns process (RMA, disposition, refund, traceability) turns returns from "thing that costs us money" into "thing we have a system for." OpsUI's Returns Management module is that system.

Built for ecommerce & d2c

What this module brings to ecommerce & d2c operations.

RMA from any channel

Customer-initiated returns from Shopify, WooCommerce, or any marketplace flow into one RMA queue. Phone and email returns get the same RMA shape. Reason codes drive disposition rules.

Disposition at receiving

When the return arrives, scanner-driven inspection routes the unit to: restock (back into FG inventory), refurbish (to a separate inspection queue), or scrap (with inventory adjustment to write-off COGS). Each path has its own audit trail.

Refund orchestration back to channel

Refunds initiated in OpsUI flow back to the originating channel: Shopify refund, WooCommerce refund, marketplace partial refund. No double-refund risk; no manual ledger reconciliation.

Returns analytics

Return rate by SKU, reason code, channel, and time period. Spot SKUs with rising return rates before they hit the P&L hard.

Customer return history

CRM record carries the customer's return rate. Repeat-return customers get flagged for review; one-time returns do not penalise the customer relationship.

Common questions

Does this work with Shopify Returns?
Yes. Shopify Returns can stay as the customer-facing portal; OpsUI runs the operational workflow behind it. Returns initiated in Shopify flow into OpsUI for receiving, disposition, and refund. The customer sees one consistent Shopify experience; you get a real operational workflow.
What about marketplace returns (Amazon, TradeMe)?
Marketplace returns flow in via the marketplace integration. Amazon's "FBA returns" pattern is out of scope (Amazon handles the physical return); merchant-fulfilled returns flow back to your warehouse via OpsUI.
Can I run different disposition rules per SKU?
Yes. Each SKU can carry its own disposition policy: high-value items default to refurbish-and-inspect, low-value to scrap, regulated items (food, pharma) get strict disposition rules with full audit. Configurable per SKU or per category.
